About Heathfield Caravan Park
Set in the wooded valley of Upper Nidderdale, this peaceful park earns praise for "some of the best facilities we've come across" – spotless ablutions with hot showers, a modern laundry available round the clock, and a well-stocked shop selling groceries and essentials. The reception doubles as a book-swap library (donations welcome), while the on-site information point helps you plan walks along the nearby Nidderdale Way or bike rides through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It's a mile-and-a-half riverside stroll to Pateley Bridge, home to England's oldest sweet shop and a cluster of restaurants. The gravel electric pitches suit touring caravans and are friendly to families, dogs and motorcyclists alike. While the setting feels remote and peaceful – surrounded by forest and with spectacular valley views – some might find the gravel hardstanding less forgiving than grass. Activities nearby include fishing, horse riding, climbing and watersports, making Heathfield a solid base for exploring the Harrogate hinterland.

What visitors say
My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in June and found the site very well set out with spacious serviced pitches and fabulous surroundings. The WC and shower facilities were spacious, well thought out and spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. Max sorted out a problem with our gas supply and TV. We would not hesitate in returning.

Fantastic campsite with the best showers, loos, so clean, modern and warm. Small site, very quiet and a few minutes into town, pubs etc. Great dog walking field behind the campsite, everything really well maintained. Owners couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. 100% recommend to others.

Heathfield is a great location for exploring the Dales. We spent 5 nights in the touring field. We are two families with kids and a dog. The site is peaceful and well-run with enough space for the kids to play and a couple of dog walking zones. The shower blocks are excellent. Family shower rooms with under floor heating and all the required elements that takes away the usual inconveniences of getting the kids showered. There’s even a dog shower outside. There’s a small shop for the basics and a lovely little library space for borrowing books and dvds. This is a family run site that has been passed down through the generations and it shows. Max and Hannah are the current custodians and they are always around to ensure you have everything that is needed. A lovely family site with a hint of luxury 😀
